WIRELESS MADE SIMPLE
KH SERIES TRANSMITTER / ENCODER DATA GUIDE
DESCRIPTION
The KH Series is ideally suited for volume use
in OEM applications such as remote control and
command, and keyless entry. Housed in a
compact SMD package, it combines a highly-
optimized RF transmitter with an on-board
encoder. When paired with a matching KH
Series receiver / decoder module, a reliable
wireless link is formed, capable of transferring
the status of 8 parallel inputs over distances in
excess of 300 feet. Ten tri-state address lines
10
provide 59,049 (3
) addresses for security and
uniqueness. No external RF components are
required
(except
an
antenna),
integration straightforward.

When combined with a Linx KH Series receiver / decoder, a highly reliable RF link capable of transferring control or command data over line-of-sight distances in excess of 300 feet is formed. The module accepts up to 8 parallel inputs, such as switches or contact closures, and provides ten tri-state address lines for security and creation of 59,049 (310) unique transmitter / receiver relationships.
